Deputy Executive Director of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM), Richard Thompson, has assured that there are no health concerns regarding the 25 Haitians who arrived in Portland by boat on February 5. He said the Ministry of Health has already conducted tests for diseases, such as malaria and dengue. Mr. Thompson was speaking at Wednesday’s, February 6, Jamaica House Press briefing, at the Office of the Prime Minister, which was hosted by Minister with responsibility for Information, Senator the Hon. Sandrea Falconer. The group included seven children, 16 men, two women, four boys and three girls, from two to 14 years old. Also included are a two year-old child, who was born in Jamaica, and six other persons who had previously arrived in Jamaica following the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Mr. Thompson noted that a number of agencies are involved in the process, including the Ministry of National Security, Portland Parish Council, Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA), Adventist Disaster Relief Agency (ADRA), Jamaica Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. He said it is estimated that it would cost the Government some $45,000 per day to care for the group, inclusive of food, water, electricity and gas. Minister Falconer, in acknowledging the cost to Jamaica, said she has heard the questions about cost, but apart from the fact that “we are signatories to the UN Convention it is in the DNA of Jamaicans that we take care of people.” “We can’t have Haitians in need who have come to our country and we do not make sure that they are taken care of. We treat them as we would like any other country to treat Jamaicans who go there. We want to cut down the length of time that they are here on our shores, but as long as they are here, we will ensure that they are taken care of – medical treatment, food and shelter,” she said. The group is being housed at the ADRA facility in Portland, where they will remain until Friday, February 8, after which they will be moved to another location in Portland, and then repatriated to Haiti. Mr. Thompson said this should be done by early next week. “That process (repatriation) is not a quick process, but what we try to do is ensure that it is speedily dealt with,” he added. In the meantime, border patrol has been increased by the Jamaica Defence Force, and on-site security is being provided by the Jamaica Constabulary Force.read more

The company earned a net profit of Rs 68.9 crore during the period.

Mirza Fakhrul Islam AlamgirTerming Rangamati gun attack a well-designed one, BNP on Tuesday said violence and criminalisation by miscreants is growing centring elections in the country for lack of democracy and atmosphere for credible polls, reports UNB.”Bangladesh has got affected with the disease of terrorism. BNP considers killing of any people in terror attacks is a hateful act. I think the attack on election officials at Baghaichhari is a well-planned one. I strongly condemn and protest the incident,” said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.In a statement, he also demanded the government identify the attackers and mete out exemplary punishment to them.At least seven people, including an assistant presiding officer, were killed and 13 others injured in a gun attack on a vehicle of a motorcade carrying election officials and law enforcers in Baghaichhari upazila on Monday evening.Fakhrul said ruling party men themselves are indulging in violence and killing for establishing their supremacy in the voter-less upazila elections.”The criminals in their localities got encouraged to grab power through the midnight ballot stuffing during the 11th parliamentary election,” he observed.The BNP leader also said the ruling party leaders are now in a competition of capturing local power through vengeful acts as they do not have any accountability to people.He also alleged that people are getting killed in different dangerous incidents as ruling party men has taken violence and hatred as their political programme.Fakhrul claimed that people did not respond to Monday’s second phase of ‘unilateral’ upazila election as they do not believe that any credible election can be held under the current government.”The current government has moved away from people’s confidence. A one-party rule has been the only means for the government to cling to power,” he said.The BNP leader alleged that the government is using the state machinery to eliminate the opposition. “The government wants to stay in power by creating panic among people and threatening them.”He prayed for salvation of the departed souls of the gun attack victims and wished early recovery of those injured.read more

We were proud to stand – with all our @Colts – for our soldiers, our flag, and our National Anthem ?? pic.twitter.com/mkZiKMkPDD— Vice President Pence (@VP) October 8, 2017 Updated Monday 8:20 a.m. ETPresident Trump on Monday defended Vice President Mike Pence’s decision to walk out of Sunday’s NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers in Indianapolis.Trump tweeted, “The trip by @VP Pence was long planned. He is receiving great praise for leaving game after the players showed such disrespect for country!”The president’s response comes amid suggestions by some media outlets and on social media that Pence’s protest was a publicity stunt engineered by Trump.The trip by @VP Pence was long planned. He is receiving great praise for leaving game after the players showed such disrespect for country!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2017 The original story continues belowVice President Pence was so offended by kneeling professional football players that he left a game Sunday between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers.I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country. I am proud of him and @SecondLady Karen.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2017“I left today’s Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,” Pence, a former governor of Indiana, said in a statement.“While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don’t think it’s too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem,” the statement opposing the protest continued. “I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem.”But first, the moment was commemorated with a photo of himself and second lady Karen Pence while they stood, hand over hearts, for the anthem.It appears the choice to leave did not belong to Pence or his wife alone. According to Trump, it was his idea.“I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country,” Trump tweeted, adding that he was proud of the couple.Standing for Anthem wasn’t something that I spoke to Colin about sat. I relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future…— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017Only members of the 49ers knelt for the rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” — a symbol of protest not against the flag or the song but against institutional social injustice and the violence perpetrated by police against black men. Colts players stood, linked arm in arm.The controversial practice of kneeling during the anthem was started by former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has yet to be signed to a new team after his contract with the 49ers expired last year.In an on-camera report on Sunday, CBS reporter Jason La Canfora said Kaepernick would stand for the anthem if he was signed to an NFL team.1) Just got a message from @Kaepernick7, who says he has not discussed with anyone his plans in the event he is signed by an NFL team.— Full Dissident (@hbryant42) October 8, 2017“He’s not planning on kneeling … and he’s planning on standing for the anthem,” La Canfora said.But after the story began making headlines, La Canfora backtracked tweeting, “Standing for Anthem wasn’t something that I spoke to Colin about.” He was merely relaying what had already been reported about Kaepernick in other outlets, La Canfora wrote, adding, “what he would do during the Anthem I do not know.”Kaepernick has not denied La Canfora’s claim outright, but he has been retweeting others who have responded to the CBS sports reporter. Among them is the quarterback’s own girlfriend, Nessa Diab, who wrote, “The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone.”Howard Bryant, an ESPN Magazine columnist, also weighed in on Twitter with what he said was confirmation from Kaepernick.“Just got a message from @Kaepernick7 who says he has not discussed with anyone his plans in the event he is signed by an NFL team,” Bryant wrote.The president has been railing against the NFL over the league’s tolerance of the sustained demonstration. Trump has repeatedly called on team owners to fire all players who kneel during the national anthem.At a campaign rally in Alabama last month, Trump shouted, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b**** off the field right now’?” he said to roaring applause.The statement by the president, and the subsequent Twitter storm he unleashed, renewed a national debate over players’ First Amendment rights and also pitted NFL owners and players against the president, inspiring many of them to kneel or link arms in the game that followed.By walking out over the kneeling, Pence hasn’t just stirred the stoked the flames of the controversy, it has also kicked up a new dust storm: criticism over the cost of the vice president’s protest of the protest.Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz was the first to raise the issue.“Wait,” Schatz wrote on Twitter. “This was orchestrated to make a point? That’s not an inexpensive thing to do.” Shareread more
